Jordon Hudson shares critical feedback toward podcasters after tense phone call revelation
Jordon Hudson, the girlfriend of North Carolina Tar Heels head coach Bill Belichick, appeared to fire back at criticism from sports podcasters who opened up about their interaction with her. Charlotte Wilder and Madeline Hill, the co-hosts of "The Sports Gossip Show," recently revealed they spoke to Hudson about coming onto their show and that she introduced herself as "the president of your universe." Amid the descriptions of how the call went down, Hudson shared critical feedback of the episode in which Wilder and Hill described the conversation with Hudson as tension filled. "This was such a disappointing take for me," the Instagram user sportslawheather wrote on their Instagram Stories. "'She shouldn't because the money/fame means more to someone else?? Because of her boyfriend??' Be real. "Do I have to seriously argue against (female! Sports journalists that (Hudson) has is justified in pursuing Miss Maine USA, Miss America for her own career and interests regardless of who she is dating." Wilder and Hill both initially thought Hudson wanted to speak about the Miss Maine USA pageant. Wilder revealed Hudson was, at one point, yelling at her and crying and the talk later turned contentious. She added that it "felt like we were always waiting for the other shoe to drop." The sports podcasters talked about their interaction with Hudson in one of their latest episodes. Hudson became a focal point of the college football offseason for a hot minute when she abruptly cut off a CBS interviewer's line of questioning toward Belichick about how they met. It started a firestorm of criticism toward Hudson and Belichick. But Belichick has made clear that Hudson has no role in the football program. "That's really off to the side. That's a personal relationship and she doesn't have anything to do with UNC football," Belichick told ESPN back in May. "I'm excited to be back in the coaches' meetings and getting ready for June and August when we get to training camp. June will be a big recruiting month for us and then August we start getting ready for the season."

Victor Cruz can already feel the difference in these Giants
The Giants are a little more than two weeks into training camp and one game into the preseason, but Super Bowl champion Victor Cruz already feels something is different with this year's team. Access the Giants like never before Get texts from Paul Schwartz with all the latest Giants news and insights, exclusive to Sports+ subscribers. tRY IT NOW The former Giants wide receiver had already predicted back in June that Big Blue would be above .500 this season, and speaking with The Post on Monday, he explained the encouraging vibe around the team. Advertisement 'There's different energy around the players and their attention to detail, and it's coming through. It's permeating on the football field,' Cruz said before teeing off in the APGA Mastercard Tour Championship Pro-Am being held at Bally's Golf Links at Ferry Point. 'That's just one game. See what happens throughout the course of the preseason, but the regular season is where it's going to tell where it's going to tell the tale.' The Giants are going into Year 3 of head coach Brian Daboll and general manager Joe Schoen's tenure at the helm. Advertisement Corey Sipkin for the NY POST Big Blue went through one of its biggest offseasons in recent memory, selecting edge rusher Abdul Carter and quarterback Jaxson Dart in the first round of the draft in April, which Cruz suggested was the moment Daboll 'got his guys.' 'He got the type of athletes that he wants to have on this football team,' the former receiver explained before turning his attention to the other big offseason acquisition the Giants added. 'Obviously, I think I'd be remiss in saying that adding Russell Wilson to your roster just changes things. Just his pedigree, his attention to detail, his leadership. It just changes the way people behave and react out there. Advertisement 'I think that that's just a small thing, but a big thing when it comes to being a football player, being a part of a team and having a guy like that on your roster is pretty special.' The Giants won their preseason opener on Saturday and Dart threw 12 completions for 154 yards and one touchdown. The rookie QB's most impressive throw came in the second quarter on a 28-yard touchdown throw to Lil'Jordan Humphrey.

I was excited to see him,' Cruz said of the quarterback's performance. 'There were moments where he still got some growing pains, still a rookie, still got to figure out decision making. But I was surprised at how athletic he was. I think he did some good things getting out of the pocket and doing some good things with his legs. And then obviously the touchdown pass and some of those throws were pretty accurate.' Cruz was in The Bronx on Monday to play the pro-am ahead of the start of the Mastercard Tour Championship, which is part of the APGA Tour, a non-profit organization dedicated to inspiring an inclusive future through the game of golf. The former Giant has become a golf enthusiast. He has been playing for the past four years and said that he was looking forward to picking up some tips from the pros and sharing whatever wisdom he can from his years in the NFL. 'I'm just excited to be here and learn just as much from them as they probably can from me,' he said.
